Many moons ago, pre-baby #4, I did Whole30 and lost 12 lbs. I loved it and felt great. Then the holidays hit. And my birthday. And before I knew it I was pregnant. You can read all about my first Whole30 experience here and what I ate here. There are plenty of inspiring Whole30 Experiences to check out here. I feel like I have so many ideas swirling around in my head about food and weight and body image and I hope I can get my message across. I spent most of my life as the skinny kid. ...
30 Day Challenge
Having a Bedtime Is Hard
This is by far the hardest of the 3o day challenges I have done yet! Lights out by 10:30 felt a lot like mission impossible. Whole30 and blogging for 30 days straight was definitely easier.

The 30 Day Challenge
In September, I did the whole30. You can read more about my experience here. It was amazing to me to see the difference 30 days made.
